A thief in China stole a mobile phone and then ran right into a police station where he was arrested
Watch how the comical situation unfolded here:
According to People's Daily China, the man was arrested "10 seconds after the crime." He apparently did not know the area particularly well and was unaware he was running into a police station.
"At one point, he reached a dead end. He ran into a courtyard not knowing it was a police station. He was arrested right on the spot," China Global Television Network reported a police officer saying.
On social media, many people said what happened was truly an act of karma:
